Chapter 38: Pumice Stone
The downpour continued for four more days, and continued unceasingly for eleven days.
Fortunately, the crops outside the city, after Master Wuyan led the crowd to assist in the harvest, saved most of the crops, and saved the farmer's hard work for a whole year in vain.
Therefore, Yan Jiyan's reputation of inviting the monks and families of Ping'an Temple to rescue the peasants' hard work has quietly spread in the countryside.
For several days in a row, Yan Jian listened to the return of a sluice gate waterway in the crescent pool, and Xieyang City couldn't stand the heavy rain for a few days, and the low-lying areas began to accumulate water.
Yan Jian had no choice but to send Mo Shao's team to visit Cao Tongzhi to assist in water conservancy matters, so as to avoid flooding in the city.
At this point, everyone is shaken, could it be that Yan Ji predicted the flood a year ago?
Ye Xiu recently followed all the carp to the crescent pool, knowing in his heart that the rain would never stop, not to mention that the carp in his yard would not be spared, and the entire Xieyang City would not be able to escape the top.
"Girl, the Canglan River has burst its embankment, fortunately, Gongzi reacted immediately, and after closing the sluice, he noticed it, and used the bat order to find people to evacuate the villages in various low-lying areas, and they all went to the nearby mountains, and only the crops were lost."
Lixia was not at ease and followed Pei Yan all the way, for his response this time, the little master was relieved that Yan Ji had been getting longer these days, and he was relieved to see that he was safe and sound, and hurriedly returned to the house to return.
"Our farthest Zhuangzi is currently storing water for seven minutes, and the rain will not stop?" Mo Shao was also shocked after listening to the report of his subordinates.
At present, except for Xieyang City, which has not yet been flooded, the rest of the large and small Lincheng that have been flooded by the rain have all been watered to their knees, and seeing this heavy rain, Mo Shao felt that the channel was shallower.
Yan Ji stretched out her hand to feel the chill of the cold raindrops falling on her palm, and looked back helplessly at the few people present.
"It will last at least four days with this rain."
It's the eleventh day!
She was able to save thousands of lives in Guiwu Mountain, and the rest of the places were beyond her reach.
The respect for life from modern times makes her heart ache.
"The food prepared by the farms a few days ago is all right, right?"
The disaster is about to be over, and the post-disaster reconstruction is the great difficulty.
"According to the girl's instructions, the barns are all raised one floor, and they are inspected every day." Ye Xiu replied respectfully.
"In the past few days, the victims will gradually pour into Xieyang City, and the Heian Temple is now famous, and it will be surrounded by the victims, and the mountain must continue to be closed before confirming the safety of the mountain pass.
The grain to be taxed in the village is all included in the disaster relief, and the six Zhuangzi have allocated people to give porridge, so that we can stop as many people as we can and don't disturb the people in the city. ”
"So how do we pay taxes? What about the tax of a thousand people! Ye Xiu was stunned by Yan Jiao's plan.
Yan Jiao let out a reassuring smile. "Uncle Ye, natural disasters are exempt, and I sent hundreds of thousands of silver to the palace, for what, this queen mother and the emperor are not nonsense."
Yan Ji's mind is deep enough!
Everyone thinks back to the foreshadowing she has planted in the past year, and everything is useful.
First of all, let everyone buy grain and hoard, dig channels, build a library to attract families from all over the world, and build a gentleman to make a fortune first, and make miracles in the construction of Ping'an Temple, and now the water is diverted to save the ground from flooding, and then open a warehouse to release grain to help the people, this pile is actually arranged by a six-year-old child?
Ye Xiusi thought about the children who had studied the geography she wanted for several nights a year ago, and she had already planned it all at that time?
Yan Ji turned her head to look at Li Chengxiao, who was called down from the study, and asked, "Guess what I want Brother Cheng to do today?" ”
Li Cheng replied with a doting smile. "Whatever Grandma asks me to do, do it!"
This foot has stepped into here, do you still need to think?
It's just that he still can't understand why Yan Ji, who is only seven years old, will cause tears in his grandmother's eyes, and will say that the two are old acquaintances.
"It seems that Brother Cheng was trained by Brother Qi to be bold and fat." Yan Juan took out a key of fragrant caryophyllum jade with a fine carving like flowers from her sleeve pocket and handed it to Li Cheng.
"The old lady said, I think when Brother Cheng can enter the pumice stone henge, let me hand over the key to you, I think I will give the pumice stone henge today! Next, we need a lot of help, and the Li family's secret guards have also rested for a long time, and it's time for the event. ”
The corners of Li Cheng's mouth twitched after the key, and it was so easy to say! Even his grandfather was only halfway there!
Although my grandfather has explained the previous levels one by one, there is still half of it!
Yan Yao's tone is that you don't have to come back?
"Auntie said you could do it!" Yan Jiao added another fire.
"Yes! Cheng Gongzi's mental and physical methods have improved a lot recently, and he can do it. Liqiu also added a fire.
"Whether the next disaster relief can go smoothly depends on the Li family, with the name of King Chengjun and the Li family, disaster relief, what should come will come, and what should not come will not come."
That's an art to say! What will come? What won't come?
They all have official titles and don't need her to explain!
......
Pumice Stone Hall
Li Cheng dragged Yan Juan to stand outside the door of the pumice stone hall with him.
The Li family ancestral hall has stood at the foot of Fu Yue Mountain in the west of Xieyang City for nearly five hundred years, like the rock mountain of Guiwu Mountain, this Fu Yue Mountain is also a rock mountain, and the appearance is not special, Li Cheng took out the incense caryophyllum key screen and retreated from the guards, and pulled Yan Ji into the pumice stone hall.
As soon as they entered the inner room, both of them were shocked by the pumice stone in front of them.
The bronze mirror on both sides of the door reflects the light into the projection pumice, by refraction, the huge mountain is opened up in an instant, the pumice stone is engraved with the imprint of the sixty-four hexagrams of the Book of Changes, no more than sixty-four full sixty-four adults surrounded by the eight-color fragrant bamboo stone pumice, exudes eight colors of strange colors and floats in the whole pumice stone hall.
The entire hollowed-out mountain is only the place where the current standing place and the six-zhang high semi-circular platform on the opposite side have ground to stand, obviously to solve the pumice stone hexagram to climb up, this I Ching she only has a superficial understanding, and is not in a hurry to help Li Cheng make up for the evil!
"I'll just say it's not easy, look at this battle." Li Cheng held the jade key in his hand vigorously and didn't dare to let go, his grandfather said that as soon as the jade let go, he took the initiative to fly to Qiangua and start fighting.
Grandfather is a diligent martial arts scholar, and he has tried to help the Li family get the pumice stone order all his life, but he has not succeeded, can he do it?
Yan Jiao took a deep breath when she saw this battle, patted Li Cheng on the back and said, "Everyone is here, don't you try to be willing?" My aunt said you could do it! Yan Jiao shook her finger at the eight-colored fragrant bamboo stone that was floating on the high platform, "You are the youngest head of the Li family in the history of the Li family when you get it, and I believe your mother will also be pleased." ”
This is for her to be emotional, right? Yan Jiao looked at the little boy holding the jade key tightly, maybe this burden was heavy for him! She took Li Cheng's hand and released the jade key towards the pumice stone henge.
The jade key slowly rose as if being summoned, and the white jade brilliance was also overflowing by the pumice stone light, floating in front of Li Cheng's forehead, and after Li Cheng's whole body was slowly shrouded in the white jade light, he had gradually vacated his feet and went to the direction of the Qiangua.
A burst of light and shadow emerged from the cadre position, and the light and shadow dressed in white clothes saluted with a long sword, and the light and shadow sword also appeared in Li Cheng's hand.
Li Cheng took advantage of the pumice stone to pick up the move back and forth, responding to the light and shadow attack, the Li family's swordsmanship emphasizes the move quickly, simple and crisp, the sword handle can be short-attacked, and the sword body can rebound the opponent's sword body to resist the enemy.
Li Cheng noticed that the more hexagrams he stepped on, the more speed and moves of light and shadow would be, the moves were sharp, the sword light was scattered, and when he stepped on the sixth pumice stone, the light and shadow became two together to attack him, and the light and shadow sword in his hand also became two enemies.
After being besieged by light and shadow for more than ten moves, Li Cheng found the Qiangua pumice, two light and shadow swords entered the dry ground silently, and then fell back to the dry position with a flip, and then flipped the two toes to exert internal force, kicked the sword and bent down on one knee, and the double swords flew straight to the two light and shadow that flew over, and the light and shadow dodged the sword that was not in a hurry and disappeared into the waist and abdomen.
Yan Ji never knew that Li Cheng's swordsmanship was so good, but these hexagrams did not give Li Cheng a chance to rest, and after the light and shadow disappeared, five lights and shadows actually appeared to attack, and she also pinched several handfuls of cold sweat, and she didn't even know where to shout if she wanted to shout carefully.
The white-clothed light and shadow moves are fast and the wind is fierce, seeing the moves, Li Cheng's clothes flutter and a move falls to the sword to find the wind and raise the light and shadow sword body, the flying sword dissipates with the light and shadow after it enters the mountain, and the light and shadow sword will appear immediately as soon as it leaves his hand, Li Cheng should respond appropriately, and has solved the fourth ladder of light and shadow.
Yan Yao, who was dazzled, wanted to ask what hexagram was this? The situation did not allow her to ask.
The white-clothed light and shadow had one more person in the fifth echelon of light and shadow, and this time even if Li Cheng returned to the trigram, there would also be one more person, and this Li Cheng fell from the highest trigram to the unvained hexagram in front of Yan Ji in an instant.
"Landing and meditating, obeying the heavens, no disaster and no disaster."
As soon as Li Cheng heard this, he immediately put away his sword and held his breath, when the white-clothed light and shadow chased him, he actually turned to chase Yan Jiao, Li Chengfei couldn't go, only through the void light and shadow, and the seven light and shadow swords hit Yan Jiao's chest directly, Yan Jian had no choice but to close her eyes and prepare to be saluted.
"Ahma!" Li Cheng shouted anxiously, hating that the pursuit could not be reached.
On the ground, a young man dressed in white with a crescent moon and a red sandalwood bone fan flew in, and the bone fan circled back and forth, dissolving the sword shadow that was pursuing, and also pushed Li Cheng, who flew out, back to the non-vain hexagram, so as to avoid starting again.
"Go!." Cheng Yun withdrew the bone fan and protected Yan Juan behind him, his tone was cold and calm, "Don't worry." ”
Li Cheng bowed his head gratefully, and the two swords returned to his hand as soon as he turned his hand, and the seven lights and shadows that had just disappeared also returned to the field.
At this time, he realized that this was the 37th hexagram family hexagram that his grandfather had not passed at that time.
"Only when you are inside can you go outside." Cheng Yun's cold voice came from the sword shadow again, and this time the sword shadow did not pursue.
Li Cheng took the two swords behind him with his left hand, lifted his breath and flew up to use his internal force to resist the sword fingers, turned around and withdrew the seven light and shadow swords, and then fell back on the hexagram again.
"Why are you here?" Yan Ji poked her head out from behind Cheng Yun.
Shouldn't this man be locked up in the study house by the old lady?
Cheng Yun raised a light smile, and looked bewitching after being reflected by the light and shadow of the pumice stone hall, and did not answer Yan Yan's question.
"Do you know that the Fei Li family suffered a sword wound equivalent to a sharp blade entering the body?"
Yan Ji: "......"
Li Ying! Your grandson is cheating on me again!!!
